Wonderful day of coordinator support!

Ashley and her team go above and beyond regardless of the tier you book them for. They were immensely helpful in our planning with vendor recommendations and styling help. Isabella took over for day of support about 2 months in advance and was extremely helpful. She was very organized, calm demeanor, and very knowledgeable. I would recommend them for anyone looking for day of coordinator support.

Lisa and Starling Rock!

We had Starling do our day of coordination at 501 Union. We worked with Lisa and felt like she was our bestie by the time our wedding day rolled around. She truly cared about us like she had known us for years, and made us feel so supported during what can be a hectic process. She was patient, attentive and offered recommendations at the perfect times.
Starling/Lisa knew our venue and our vendors inside and out. It made us feel so confident knowing there were strong working relationships there.
On the actual wedding day, things were seamless and that has a lot to do with all the hard work Lisa did with us beforehand and during the event. Lisa kept us on schedule the whole evening.
You will definitely be well taken care of by Starling, especially if you work with Lisa!

The best experience!

Working with Starling was one of the best decisions we made at the beginning of our wedding planning process. My husband and I hired Starling, knowing they are under the same hospitality group as our venue and would know our venue very well. We were paired with Ashley who is beyond professional. Wedding planning in general is pretty stressful, but working with Ashley was such a pleasure. She kept us organized and recommended excellent vendors. As our wedding day got closer, she took over all communication with our vendors. Having her as our day of coordinator with an assistant, she managed our vendors, ensured the whole evening went smoothly and helped us stick to our timeline. Its also important to mention that on our wedding day, NYC was in a state of emergency due to extreme rain and flash flooding. It was a pretty stressful morning but Ashley kept us calm and ensured that our wedding moved forward as planned. My husband and I were able to enjoy our evening without worrying about the little details. We cannot recommend Starling enough!!

Thank you Angela and Starling!

THANK YOU to Angela Cho and the Starling team for making our wedding day the best night of our lives. We felt relaxed and stress-free because we knew you had everything under control. We could not recommend Angela and Starling any more, not just for our wedding day but also for all of the advice and recommendations leading up to it. Our wedding was spectacular and thanks to Angela we got to be fully present and enjoy the entire thing.

Go with Starling.

We booked Starling as our Day of Coordinators for our wedding at Dobbin St. There are so many logistics to keep track of and we couldn't have done it without Starling's help. Ashley onboarded us, and once we were getting into the nitty gritty, Kate was with us every step of the way - with a smile and a plan. She hyped us up, gave us ideas and inspiration, and helped ensure that our wedding was beautiful and seamless - even through a last-minute rain plan. She went above and beyond - working with Kate was truly an amazing experience. We couldn't recommend Starling more.

The best wedding planner EVER

Ashley and the team at Starling are top notch. Ashley is a wonderful human who really takes the time to listen to what you want and need and is not afraid to help you navigate all of the intricacies of planning a wedding. Her team was attentive and helped made sure we had an amazing and smooth wedding. Truly we do not know where we’d be without her knowledge and passion for weddings.

If you need a planner, CALL ASHLEY!!

Amazing to work with!

Working with Ashley was an absolute pleasure. She helped us plan our wedding and was cool, calm and collected throughout the entire process. She gave great advice and helped us with all of our vendors and planning our pre and post wedding events too. Our wedding day went perfectly thanks to Ashley and her assistant Greta. We were able to enjoy our day and focus on our guests rather than focus on the 1 million details and logistics. Cannot recommend them enough.

Amazing Coordinators!

Our last email to Ashley, our coordinator, had the subject line "Our Hero." Because she was! She made sure the wedding was the constantly fun event that we imagined. We had some logistical complications built in. A live band set between playlists, many speeches in different parts of the venue, dear family members needing special accommodations. I often joked with Ashley that we had plan A-Z. But she never hesitated and continued to assure us that the wedding would be what we imagined. She was wrong. It was beyond our wildest dreams. Thank you Ashley and Starling!

Wonderful to work with! Ashely was the best!

We loved working with Starling for our Wedding in March 2023. Ashley was our coordinator and she was terrific. She was organized, attentive and above all very easy to work with--answering all our questions. The tools that Starling uses keeps you on track and definitely helps reduce stress. The day of Ashley and her assistant were fantastic--and they kept everything on track and made us feel like everything was in control. We also had our flowers done by Starling and they were absolutely beautiful. We would highly recommend working with Starling and Ashley--they made the wedding planning experience much easier and were a pleasure to work with.

Starling is a 10/10

I cannot recommend Starling enough! From start to finish they made our wedding vision come to life and were an absolute joy to work with. We were able to show up on our wedding day and enjoy it, Ashley handled absolutely everything! Would recommend her to any bride planning a wedding, she's the best of the best.
